"New" Red Arrows?

[ExSimGuy]

An ex-RAF (parachute packer) sent me this picture - anyone have an idea of the story behind it?

I know that the Typhoon took part in the RAF anniversary fly-pasts this month, but pics I can find of that have the fighters in regular "livery"

Any ideas? Or has Someone been playing with PaintShop again ;)

..they are such wags those parachute packers:ok:

[Something witty]

Its a bloody good effort - although the white letters on the fin merging with the white stripe are slightly odd, as is the overall matt finish - a new 'arrows idea or to avoid the 'reflection' problem you would get having photoshoped with gloss? :ok: Black fouling aft of intake looks realistic enough... I don't know, with 232 of the buggers they need to do something with them ;)

[High_lander]

Yes, they have been. Photoshop most likely.

Besides, thats the OLD colour scheme:}:E

[bluetail]

good bit of Photoshopping indeed, shame the 3 Sqn Code was missed, :D

[Lafyar Cokov]

Yeah - that Typhoon is definitely a photo-shop job, however what about the one below, apparently with budget constraints this is the way ahead - an armorer told me....

That Tiffie looks rather good.

I guess the missiles could be used for getting rid of people who fly into their airspace during a display. :E

I agree; great 'photoshop' redesign of something that will never happen... bloody accountants; they're responsible for the demise of... well; everything really!

As a Yorkshire border-man, my mother used to say... live in Hope; die in Edale!

Anyone been to Edale recently? You should see the luxury country residences that the Manchester commuters have made out of the barn conversions... a round trip to Tesco's by train... who cares?

My Great Grandfather owned one of those and he was holed-up for the winter in Edale and had to slaughter a sheep or a couple of pigs to survive... haven't times changed?

[Gainesy]

That must be the greatest example of thread creep in the history of the Internet.:)

[Clockwork Mouse]

Sheep and pigs? Ee lad, that were the lap of luxury. Mine had to make do wi 'is ferrets.

[goudie]

Mine had to make do wi 'is ferrets


Ferrets? By 'eck lad 'e were lucky. All mine had were what was in mouse trap...................... usually nowt 'cos 'e had nowt cheese t' put in 'em.

Apologies for poor imitation of northern speak
